Academia Motivation

I’m a big fan of xkcd.com comics, by Randall Munroe.
The guy is an honorable academic and a very creative comic author.

The reason I (and many other of his fans) way enjoy his work is that
he can totally merge together things that we academics, geeks and nerds,
see as really fun, but which are somewhat distinct in their nature.
His capacity of association and disassociation is amazing.

It’s a clear aspect of mine that I don’t enjoy working in any business area.
You know, I think it is (in most cases) an alternative that wastes too much of our potential.

So as I’m really the academic type, seeing happiness and satisfaction in research and university life,
I’m completely inclined to live this latter way.

In this comic Randall satirizes that ‘waste of potential’.
It is so actual, and (man.. a thesis or two) it is so inspiring!

Have fun!

Week Summary

Hey ;-)
How are you doing?

I’m feeling really fine; lightweight and calm.
Finally I’m on vacation.

Prior to this specific vacation, many things have been done.
I’m graduating from college, and I have been admitted to the master’s degree program.
Also, we are having a really good time at my fraternity.

Let me tell you about it.. ;-)

Last Undergraduate Weeks

They’ve been all really hard-working, and very thankful.
I’m close to become a Computer Engineer!

You may read about them here (with pictures!).

Beginning an Academic Life

Vacation Starting at Rep. Buscapé

Come on!
I’d be already dead if I hadn’t some guys and girls to have fun with.

See here what we’ve been doing lately.


Above all, up or down,
This was such a great experience! =)
Thank you Life.
